Unless the TV station knows the students were special ed students, leading off with the fact she is a special ed teacher gives the impression she allegedly had sex with special ed students.
Of course, "AUSTIN (KXAN) — A special education history teacher in the Lexington school district is charged with aggravated sexual assault ..." is a bit less salacious, but I'm SURE it would have gotten the same play as "special education" if that had been the case.
Oh, and 32-year-old teacher and 13- and 14-year-old students? Hello, big house.
